You would not believe how much a first class stamp is nowadays! Come to think of it, you would not believe that our class system is so omniscient and unquestioned that it even penetrates our mail!

Also interesting how architectural debate has changed since then so much (inevitably). In some ways better, some ways worse.

So interesting that out of Zaha, Rem, Krier bros, Jencks etc he is the most overlooked (no doubt cos of the direction his architecture went) but the most rigorous and thoughtful by far. "Classicism is not a Style" has more to say than first glance would suggest.

Easily trumped by the Mercury. I had zero interest in it, and I love architecture too!

Thank you for bringing this report and HEPI's AI report to my attention - both interesting reads even though I've now left academia.
